Notice

It is possible that in some cases not every month of your stay can be funded. The exact calculation of the funding depends on the number of participants and can therefore only be calculated at short notice. Nominated ERASMUS + students can find the exact amount in their funding notification.

  • Special support for severely disabled people and students with children

    Severely disabled people and students with children can apply for special funds. If approved, these will be paid in addition to the regular funding rates (according to the country scale see above).

    You can receive an application for special funding from the International Office of the Friedrich Schiller University. You will find the contact persons and office hours hereExternal link.

  • Multiple funding by ERASMUS+

    Since the academic year 2014/15, students are able to participate in the ERASMUS programme multiple times. 12 months of mobility (study and/or internship) are allowed for each stage of study (BA, MA, PhD). This means a maximum of 3 study sections x 12 months (max. duration) = 36 months.

    Students whose field of study is not divided into bachelor's and master's can also take full advantage of the multiple funding at ERASMUS + (state examination - PhD). Before getting their first degree, students have 24 months of mobility (study and/or internship). This corresponds to a funding period of 1 (first stage of study) x 24 months (max. duration) plus 1 (second stage of study) x 12 months (max. duration) = 36 months.

  • ERASMUS+ and BAföG

    The ERASMUS + study mobility allowance is only credited to the BAföG abroad from 300€ monthly. It is advisable to find out about any changes in the granting of scholarships to the BAföG on their website at www.bafög.de.External link It is also advisable to submit an application for foreign funding to the responsible offices for training funding at an early stage.
